Bill allowing students to carry guns in car trunks headed to governor’s desk

Both chambers have adopted final versions of a bill that would allow students with concealed handgun licenses to transport and store their pistols on campus in their vehicle’s trunk.

The Senate approved the conference committee report of Senate Bill 1907 by a vote of 29-3, and the House 135-8.

The bill, authored by Katy Republican Sen. Glenn Hegar was rushed through the legislative process last month after a broader proposal to allow students with CHL’s to tote pistols in classrooms was declared dead.
